About Me

I originally started this blog as a place to store tried and true recipes for my family. It didn't take long to discover how supportive and fun the blog community was and I became hooked! I rarely create my own recipes, but I still hope you'll enjoy the recipes that I find and tweak a bit.

Club Pasta

Not near as embarrassing as a wardrobe malfunction, it seems as though I have suffered a pasta malfunction. You see my friends, what you see before you started as bowtie pasta, but clearly it did not turn out that way. Does anyone know if dried pasta actually expires? Is there a date when your pasta will fall to pieces in your boiling pan? I don't remember buying bowties in 2001, but maybe I did.

Fortunately tastes was not compromised and this still ended up being a delicious dinner. I posted this recipe For-E-VER (name that movie) ago, and now I'm re-posting it because it's so simple and delicious. All the great flavors of a club sandwich tossed together in a warm pasta? You can't beat that with a stick.

In a large skillet heat oil and add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes and add chopped tomatoes. Cook for another four to five minutes until tomato skins are softened. Add pasta, chicken and bacon. Cook in pan for five-eight minutes until all ingredients are heated through and well combined. Add cheese and parsley and stir until cheese melts. Serve immediately.

So weird about the pasta...I've never heard of or seen that before! Maybe this batch just had really weak middles or maybe a tidal wave actually went through your boiling water. Hmm. Either way, the pasta sounds great!
